Perhaps one of the more recognizable Rice products in the NFL - especially because he plays here in Houston – Covington has turned into a budding player on the Texans’ NFL-best defense. The Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada native has 34 tackles and three sacks in two years and started five games last year. His father, Grover, is member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame

All Boswell has done is set records since his arrival in the Steel City in 2015. Last season, he became the first NFL kicker to convert at least six field goals in a game with five being 40-plus yards. He also was responsible for every point in the Steelers’ 18-16 divisional round win over Kansas City, kicking six total field goals. Pittsburgh signed Boswell to a one-year, exclusive-rights contract reportedly worth $615,000 in February.

Willson has hauled in 74 career receptions for 976 yards and seven touchdowns with only one dropped pass in the last two seasons and started 30 games over four years for Seattle. He sports a Super Bowl XLVIII ring and a new one-year deal reportedly worth up to $3 million signed in March.

He might be known for his eye-opening catch during Broncos training camp last year (check it out here), but Taylor found some playing time last year catching 16 balls for 209 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games. That was a year after spending his rookie season on the practice squad. That rookie season wasn’t all bad, though. He was Peyton Manning’s workout partner, catching passes and running routes for the soon-to-be Hall of Fame quarterback who was rehabbing from a foot injury at the time. Manning bought Taylor a custom-made suit for the team’s Super Bowl 50 trip.

Has 40 career starts in 77 total games with 264 tackles, a sack, nine passes defended, four interceptions, a forced fumble and three fumble recoveries. He started his career with Dallas and the New York Jets but has settled in Minnesota since 2011.

McDonald logged 24 catches for 391 yards and four touchdowns in 11 starts last year – the yards and touchdown catches are career-highs. He signed a contract extension reportedly for three years at $19.7 million with club options for two more years.
